Navigator is dead, here's Flock

Thought of checking out Netscape Navigator after using it on Abhishek' laptop last weekend. Turns out Netscape has stopped it's development as this BBC report confirms.

I remember when the net came out in the mid-90s, Navigator & IE used to be THE browsers available. Of course, MicroSoft killed it by bundling IE with Windows. What's surprising though, is how it managed to survive this long, till 2008. Also that Deepanjan, the browser aficionado didn't blog about this.

Anyway, Netscape itself recommends Firefox or Flock now & so I decided to check it out.


It's quite similar to Firefox functionally & visually, so let's see how it goes. I'm looking forward to the 'Social Browser' part.
